To all,i'm wanting to know who/when the shufflers are heading back west? I've read that some are shipping their buggies and flying back but was wondering who is driving back.
My wife and i are looking for somebody to buddie-up /tag along with for the return trip to the st.louis area?Would rather not drive solo.

Thanks

Tony, we are planning on going to Philadelphia for a few days after MOTF. If you want to go with us, that would be cool. We are planning on leaving Philadelphia on Tuesday, stopping in Columbus Tuesday night and then back to St Louis the next day. LMK if that sounds like a plan to you!

Dave, thanks for the offer! A recommendation for lodging would be appreciated! We are planning on going to the Impressionist exhibit at the art museum and the touristy stuff (I dependence hall, the Liberty Bell, running the steps from Rocky, etc). A great place for a Philly cheesessteak would be awesome too!

There are some will be connecting with the ECVW parade, while Myself, Scott Drolet will be shipping/flying back. There are still a few more that have not made their plans known.

Thanks Mike.
The longest 'run' in our buggy to date is about 50 miles non-stop.I know i'll need to make several shake down runs before we depart, it only has 1400 miles on the odometer,new/rebuild 1835. It has been problem free so far but again at 1400 miles i wouldn't expect many problems.(i'm waiting on murphys law).i did have a throw out bearing start to make noise with 500 miles on it?
I've gone over it pretty well i think, and fixed/upgraded most of the buggy.new electrical system,brake system,fuel system with the exception of the hard fuel line.haven't touched the transaxle other than fluid/boots...
Finally warm enough to ride,So we'll see what happens between now and the end of June.

Thanks again Mike

Tony

Tony, we've all gone through those nerves prior to our first long distance trip. Cross the t's and dot the i's and go for it! They're be plenty of support. You're buggy will be fine, you'll have a blast.
